Beaches, good food in the
furthest end of the sorrentine peninsula.

On the
extreme border of the territory of the peninsula sorrentina, Massa
Lubrense is situated between the gulfs of Naples and Salerno. With
its 20 km˛ surface and a coastline that runs for 25 km. with
splendid bays and pebbly beaches, it represents the most important
bathing centre of the coast.

THINGS NOT TO MISS

Punta della Campanella. This is the part of the peninsula
that is closest to Capri and divides the two gulfs. One can admire
the Torre di Punta Campanella and Torre di Minerva built by the
Angioine in the 14th century and reconstructed over the course of
the centuries due to destruction caused by Saracen invaders. The
actual tower covers the remains of the ancient foundation of a villa
made by the Roman Emperor Augustus for his family. Still before all
of this, probably, the Greeks had erected in the same spot a temple
dedicated to the cult of Minerva.

The Beaches. Besides the fishing villages of Marina di
Puolo and Marina della Lobra and the beach at Marina del Cantone, a
special view lies at the Baia di Ieranto which makes up a part of
the well protected F.A.I. (Fondo Ambientale Italiano, an Italian
environmental protection agency), for those interested in historic,
recovered landscapes.

L’Isca, Vetara e Crapolla. Just like the islets called Li
Galli represent a fundamental characteristic of the territory of
Positano, so do Isca and Vetara represent the particular elements of
Massa Lubrense. The first, besides having the remains of a Roman
villa, it was the residence of the great playwright Eduardo De
Filippo. The second is home only to a substantial colony of sea
gulls. In the inlet of Crapolla, instead, are the remains of an
ancient abbey dedicated to San Pietro.
